True to the Duty of Medical Worker
  The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has clinics in the places where the people live and work.
  The medical workers of the clinics make all sincere efforts to protect the health of the residents in the areas under their charge.



  Among them is Doctor Jo Yong Hye at the Pothonggang Polyclinic in Pothonggang District of the capital Pyongyang.
  Doctor Ri Kwang Chon says:
  "I think Jo Yong Hye is really an unusual medical worker. I am often impressed to see her devote herself for the promotion of the health of the residents in the area under her charge. All the residents under her charge call her their doctor with respect."
  It has not been so long since Jo Yong Hye started to work as a household doctor at the polyclinic.
  Although she was busy taking care of the health of the residents, she always pondered over and over to increase the effectiveness of her medical services.
  In the course she established the methods capable of effectively curing various diseases by Koryo therapy, contributing to the promotion of the residents' health. And she invented efficient treatment apparatuses to make a substantial contribution to improving the quality of medical services.
  Some time ago, she manufactured a portable inhaler to prevent respiratory diseases among the residents, doing much toward the preventive and curative medical care.
  The inhaler was highly estimated at the "National Sci-Tech Successes Exhibition in the Field of Public Health--2023" for its simple manipulation and good curative effects.
  Jo Yong Hye says:
  "I think our role is important in taking care of the health of the residents. I will do my best to protect the residents' health so as to thoroughly implement the crucial task for the public health sector presented by the Ninth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea."
  Jo Yong Hye is now devoting her all to the medical services for the residents in the area under her charge, fully aware of her duty as a medical worker taking care of the people's lives and health.
